Changed line(s) 23 (click to see context) from:
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Downplayed. The mayor's wife Miss Millie is still [[CondescendingCompassion condescending]] and indirectly causes the incident that leads to Sofia's unjust arrest and subsequent trauma behind bars, but she's not ''quite'' the hateful spiteful hag she was in the '85 movie. Rather than using her influence to get a judge to order Sofia to work as her unpaid servant, Millie offers Sofia a ''paying'' job upon release just until she gets back on her feet. Whether she's still lording over Sofia but is being more subtle about it, or feels responsible for the conflict her husband escalated and that giving Sofia a job is the least she can do, is left up to interpretation.
